Abstract Habitat loss and degradation associated with industrial development is the primary threat dominant driver of biodiversity globally. Spatially-explicit datasets that estimate human pressures are essential to understand extent rate anthropogenic impacts on ecosystems critical inform conservation commitments efforts under Global Biodiversity Framework. We leveraged modification framework generate comprehensive, consistent, detailed, robust, temporal, contemporary map cumulative individual threats activities terrestrial from 1990 2022. In ∼2022, 43% lands had very low levels modification, while 27%, 20%, 10% low, moderate, high respectively. Nearly ⅔ biomes ½ ecoregions currently (∼2022) moderately-modified, 24% (31 M km 2 ) experienced increased 2020. About 29% countries 31% might also be particularly vulnerable given their above-average less than 30% protection.
